Out of Bagels

by HEAB on March 14, 2012

I ran out of my beloved everything bagels earlier this week and decided to bust open the huge box of Kashi blueberry waffles I bought at Costco a few weeks ago. During my last toaster waffle phase, many of you told me that Kashi makes an excellent waffle (but they’re hard to find!), and so when I saw spied them in the freezer aisle, into the cart they went. Yes, I’m willing to buy in bulk if you guys say it’s good.

First Kashi waffle experience…

Topped one with whipped cream cheese and the other with peanut butter <–YUM.

Today, I went a different route and made my first ever wafflewich…which I’ve been meaning to try for years. ‘Bout time HEAB!

I’d put the Kashi frozen waffles right up there with Eggo (the best in my opinion). Van’s texture if just too funky – they never get crisp on the outside – too cakey, but maybe that’s just because I’ve only tried their gluten free versions. So, that’s my waffle rant for the day. Bye now. 🙂

Hi Heather! You’ve discovered the joy of wafflewiches! I know exactly what you mean about Van’s gluten-free waffles, but their regular ones are super tasty. My favorites are blueberry, multi-grain, Belgian and powergrains. I love the short ingredient list :o)

I like Kashi waffles, my favorite is the original/7grain ones, they are good! I don’t have a toaster, or toaster oven, so I toast mine on the regular oven and they turn out delicious! I like spreading butter and lightly sprinkling salt on them as soon they come out of the oven, so good!
And of course, they are awesome with AB too.
Take care dear friend, hope all is well with you and the babies!

Waffles can really substitute for anything in cooking. For example, I didn’t bring any fruit to bring in my at-work yogurt breakfast one time, so I just cut up a waffle to put in it. Many people would have served the yogurt ON the waffle and had a different kind of meal, but that kind of power shift seemed too extreme for breakfast. 😉

I have Kashi waffles in my freezer right now, and have been making a “wafflewich” using greek yogurt, fruit and peanut flour butter in the middle. I’ve got to try them with egg!
The waffles are good, but they’re a bit too flimsy (would that be the right word?) I don’t know- I’d like something more HEARTY with more of a bite to it I guess. They’ve been really handy in a pinch, though. 🙂

Love waffle/pancake sandwiches! I usually do a coconut flour pancake sandwich with almond butter and thin apple or nectarine slices…OR an egg and some delicious bacon. I call them “NicGriddle” sandwiches…You should call yours HEABgriddles… 😉

When you do get around to replacing your bagels, you should get an asiago cheese one (or more :-)) from Panera for your sandwich. Even just scrambled eggs and melted cheese is delicious but somtimes I’ll add a little spinach and/or tomato-if vegetables even sound edible to you now!

Jill,
Oh my, I had the Panera asiago bagel a few months ago when my mom and I were at the GH Mall. It was around Christmas and so crowded, and I started feeling really sick. Had to eat and had to eat a bagel. It was exactly what I needed! I should go buy a whole bag b/c your combos sound great! Have you gone on your trip yet? Been thinking about ya, and if so, hope you had a blast!

I’ve never tried a frozen waffle… I can’t remember the last time I made waffles. BUT I do have a waffle iron that makes penguin shaped waffles, with a a little hollow in it’s tummy for a scoop of ice cream 😉

I use to eat Kashi waffles like there was no tomorrow. Until i got deathly sick and found out part of it was gluten allergy. But you know what, I still crave the darn thing! Van’s is just too dry. Oh me oh my, enjoy it for me HEAB!
xoxo

Gotta agree with you, I love Ego waffles…my favorite waffle ‘wich , 1 egg plus 1 egg white over easy on with a smear of avocado and chipotle gouda cheese melted on top!!! This is my go to combo! It’s also yummy on raisin bread and whole grain english muffins!

mmmm to that wafflewhich. Throw a little avocado on there (if you’re into them these days!) and that would be perfection. I miss cinnamon apple mini eggo waffles from my childhood (frozen straight from the freezer!).

oh my goodness! i just bought frozen waffles this week. they’re always the thing i impulsively buy and immediately forget in the back of my freezer. i don’t understand why. WAFFLES, on a weekday, is a good way to start the day.

I love wafflewiches. When I make gf waffles, I usually do a double batch and freeze some and then I make sandwiches. I like blueberry with uncured ham, egg, and sharp cheddar…so good. Sorry you were out of bagels but, IMO waffles are superior. 🙂

Whhhaaattt??? this is your first time trying those things??? Dang girl! I’ve been eating those for yearrsss with PB and banana or as an eggwich (which sounds so good right now, it’s been a while) they have been my go-to on-the-go breakfast forever! So glad you’ve finally jumped on the bandwagon!!
I actually enjoy the Vans GF ones. They do have kind of a funky texture but I actually like that. I think I may have tried those Vans ones through you..ha
Now go get yourself some bagels!!

I used to love freezer waffles when I was a kid – blueberry all the way. Just this last weekend, I was at Natural Products Expo West at which Ezekiel brand had us sample their new sprouted grain blueberry waffles. AMAZING! Super crunchy, juicy blueberries – everything I remember from Eggo ones. I can’t wait until they come to stores this June/July!

the breakfast-wich is a thing of beauty. never tried those frozen waffles, the only ones i’ve ever had were growing up with EGGO! ha ha, i never blogged about this but i used the coconut flour pancake recipe and sandwiched in eggs, lingonberry jam (yes from ikea lol) & gruyere cheese. i was mystified but it was hideous!

I like van’s and Nature’s Path. I’m always open to new ones in the freezer, but there’s no kashi around me. So many topping options and great with breakfast or to add into any meal or snack. But , yeah, Eggo is the best and my “go-to”.

I haven’t bought waffles in years. I’m a waffle freak and I like them super toasted. I love my savory waffles (made with chickpea flour and oats) and I’m also loving my peanut flour waffles for a treat with hemp fudge smeared in the grooves. Now I need a waffle!

I love waffle-wiches! My favorite is peanut butter and banana smooshed in between ’em 🙂 I agree about Van’s Waffles, their “light” ones are a little better than the GF but still not very crispy. I’m so glad to know that the Kashi waffles are at Costco, I’m going to have to get on that!

Wafflewich sounds right up my alley. Egg and cheese sandwiches are by far the most satisfying and filling breakfast for me, and adding sweet waffles just sent that breakfast to the top of my list! Perhaps a stop at the store is in my near future…
